[PD] bug(?): send/receive problem with gui elements

I never intended to do this, I was just intending to follow your
problem description.

Okay, this is another problem, which wasn't clear from what you wrote
in the first mail. "sync-waende-vertikal-send" is not what the toggle
receives, it's what it sends. So the problem is a mysterious 1 that
gets send, and it seems to get send by the toggle, as that's the only
place such a send could be generated (as far as I see, which still
might not be that far.

The 1 even can be exchanged to another number by seting the non-zero
value of the vertikal-toggle to it. BTW: There is no need to add the 
[r sync-waende-vertikal-send] to the abstraction, it can be added to
the main patch as well to show this behaviour. 

This indeed is strange.

Oh, I'm sure it is. ;)

Maybe we can find a way to make it even more simple up to the point,
where the "bug" doesn't occur anymore, then look what was removed last.

As I wrote above, I think, the problem is, to find where this non-zero
value for the vertikal-toggle's send is coming from. And it get
generated come when you toggle on "diag" then "vertikal" as well, as
when you toggle on "diag_invert" and then "vertikal". See attached
modifikation of the patch, which monitors sends and receives by
prints.

As the toggle in my patch has no sends and receives anymore I'm still
convinced, that the bug is not one in "tgl" but somewhere in the logic
flow.

Ciao
